Hi, In the following example, why are the lyrics correct in the first bars, but are failing when I add a legato slur ?? \version "2.19.8" mymelody = \relative c' { c4 c4 g'4 g4 | a4 a4 g2 | \break c,4( c4 g'4 g4 | a4 a4 g2) \bar "|." } mylyrics = \lyricmode { Twin- kle twin- kle lit- tle star } \score { << \new Staff << \context Voice = "mymelody" { \mymelody } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "mymelody" { \mylyrics \mylyrics } >> >> \layout {} }
Because this is how singers expect melisma to be expressed: please see melisma in the NR. The simplest option (if you really want to confuse your singers) is to use a phrasing slur.
